Either achieve a new one rep max record, or don’t lift at all

There’s this Khmer proverb which I love which is “either burn it to a crisp, or leave it raw”.

so one could interpret this as like with weightlifting… Either you go 1000% hard-core, maximum, or maybe it is best to not just step into the gym at all

The days you did not sleep well, you don’t feel 100%, just take a break, get a massage take a nap, just walk around, do something else.

The criticality of your body

The number one thing is you don’t want to injure yourself.
